I have missing the beginning of the movie additionally i am not sure, the power was down on the end or simply freezed the pcb, but the heads should be in the ramp after the power removed!

Based on the sound, the servo is not found, i am sure, this is not SA problem or not only! :D

This is absolutely true for families after AVVA.

What I see is that the MHA cannot go up to the parking ramp at all, probably because some heads are torn off.
This would also give some explanation on the clicking...
